For years, I had assumed that Don Quixote was one of those classics that nobody actually read anymore, because the language would be so dense and the writing style so, well, old that it would be a chore to get through. Then I came across this translation by Edith Grossman, read a couple of pages and realized how wrong I was. Cervantes wrote Don Quixote with tremendous wit, verve and imagination and Grossman's translation retains as much of the humor and clever wordplay as is possible in a translation.
My fears that Don Quixote would be a boring slog were entirely unfounded. The inventiveness and imagination of Cervantes shines through every page and the language sparkles beautifully. Before I read it, I thought it was a novel I would never read. But by the time I was done, it had become -- hands down -- my favorite book.
So don't be scared: you too can read Don Quixote. And trust me, you're missing out if you don't. It is literally impossible to access the footnotes from the iPhone Books app. The numbers are visible, but tapping them does nothing. This is very aggravating, as the footnotes are often quite important to understanding the story. If I want to read them, I have to look them up later on my computer, which is ridiculous. Further, in portrait mode, inset poems which are frequent are cut off on the left edge.
This is nowhere near as problematic as the broken footnotes, however. Download Free El profeta rojo Spanish Edition. Ebook Download Discovery Island. Ebook Download Disrupt Yourself.
